What kind of stability ? It would be nice if they are recorded in
bugs.kde.org, currently of the crashes, there is only the shiva filter bug that
I can reproduce.

I am not convinced those people would start use krita even if it was stand
alone, they are just using it as an argument. On all major distribution you
can install krita seperately from koffice. I think they are just looking for
excuses.
If krita was stand alone they would tell you I want a port to "Gtk" (I ofteen
see a lot of those coming to Scribus irc channel with such a request). They
will always find a reason.

that's probably how we are going to work with koffice as a whole. Especially if
we move to a feature release every three monthes cycle ;)
